On their FAQ page, both of them refer to a "2-stroke"

a "2-cycle" engine.

Uhg.

It's only semantics, but you would think that those
manufacturers would know the difference between a
"stroke" and a
"cycle".

Per Merriam-Webster...

stroke:
the movement in either direction of a mechanical part
(as a
piston) having a reciprocating motion; also : the
distance of
such movement
cycle:
a course or series of events or operations that recur
regularly and usually lead back to the starting point

"2-stroke" "4-stroke" engine

About 3,270,000 results

"2-cycle" "4-cycle" engine

About 427,000 results (0.48 seconds)

Using "cycle" is not a big deal for casual speakers,
but besides
being less popular, it's semantical nonsense.

I believe that using "4-stroke cycle" is more correct
than
either 4-stroke or 4-cycle. It takes 4 strokes to make
a cycle.

I'm not talking about technical correctness, I'm
referring to
a significant semantical blunder.

What matters is the number of strokes per cycle. The
number of
cycles is irrelevant.

At least you aren't calling them motors.


"like"


Motor is an acceptable synonym for engine.

Well, I just noticed this is a crossthreaded troll... and you
and harry
are either name shifting or my filters are failing again so I
am gonna'
take a look, but I am not gonna' read your links, cause I
really don't
care what you think... Plonk again...

I've not changed anything, dummy. And those links aren't what *I*
"think", they are links to actual events that have taken place
at Indy,
where YOU said you didn't know they ran electric cars.



Let's not get the weekend off to a bad start by having to watch
Scotty
explode again, eh?


You have 4 choices

A prevent the explosion
B cause the explosion
C watch the explosion
D ignore the explosion

My money is on you choosing B and C

At least you're admitting that Scotty will go insane and explode!


You are incorrect, as usual.
http://www.bing.com/Dictionary/searc...ng&FORM=DTPDIA



"acknowledge truth" Not incorrect at all. You see, YOU said that "the
money is on (harry) choosing B and C." Therefore, you acknowledged
that
Scotty would, indeed explode.

Liar; unless you admit to being incredibly stupid, or easily misled, or
to jumping to wrong conclusions consistantly, or just have difficulty
understanding English.
I am wagering that Harry will chose options B and C based on prior
behavior. Option A is still an available choice, but, knowing Harry,
that would be the last thing he would want. Option D is completely out
of the question for Harry.

All of the options involve Scotty "exploding" period.


Or not. See option A.
Mumble Mumble. I'm done with you.

Like I said, it's only you and loogie that are playing here.... Loog
and Harry are exploding because I have been ignoring them lately. Even
crossposted to another group with a name change to try to bring me in.
So "Capt" Meyer, you, loogie, harry and john can just keep on keepin'
on... LOL!!



Funny ****. Really. And just more of the usual Scotty bull****.
